American Steakhouse Burgers har stängt sin verksamhet.

Första gången vi testade American Steak House Burgers var 2017, när de fortfarande var en hajpad foodtruck i ett industriområde utanför Uppsala. Sedan dess har de öppnat en riktig restaurang i köpområdet Boländerna samt i Fullerö, båda i Uppsala. Vi har besökt dem väldigt många gånger under åren, och varje gång möts vi av en stor och tom lokal där de spelara hög musik. På menyn hittade vi åtta olika burgare och en hel del olika tillbehör. Men menyn bjöd på ett spretigt urval, så det gäller att se upp så att du inte råkar beställa en burgare med ruccola, svartvinbärsjelly eller getost.

Vi valde till slut en dubbel Chicago med dubbel cheddar, silverlök, picklad gurka och dijondressing för 135 kronor, och en dubbel Ohio med dubbel cheddar, bacon, silverlök, färska jalapeños och majonnäs för 140 kronor. Vi beställde även en portion vanliga pommes frites för 35 kronor. Den ödsliga känslan kvarstod när då all beställning skedde genom en maskin, och vi såg endast personalen när maten ställdes ut på en serveringsdisk. Burgarna såg i alla fall lika fina ut som de gjort under våra tidigare besök. De dubbla 105-gramsköttpuckarna hade en väldigt fin stekyta och var mört och saftigt, och vi kände att de verkligen tagit i med svartpepparn. Det flufifga och gyllenbruna brödet var välrostat och höll ihop väl under måltiden. Det krispiga baconet i vår Ohio var dock dåligt distribuerat över hela burgaren. Vi uppskattade den fina kicken från dijondressingen i Chicago-burgaren, men picklesen var alldeles för salta. Pommes fritsen var dessutom tråkiga med torr konsistens och alldeles för mycket salt.

American Steakhouse Burgers gör fortfarande goda burgare, men vi märkte av ett ganska markant kvalitetstapp jämfört med tidigare år. Vi hoppas att de hittar tillbaka till hungern de uppvisade under foodtrucktiden.

In English

We first tried American Steak House Burgers in 2017, when they were a hyped-up food truck in an industrial estate outside Uppsala. Since then, they’ve opened a real restaurant in Uppsala’s Boländerna shopping district and in Fullerö. We have visited them many times over the years, and each time we are greeted by a large and empty restaurant with loud music playing. Their menu features eight different burgers and a lot of different sides. But the eclectic offerings are all over the place, so you need to be careful so that you don’t get a burger with arugula, blackcurrant jelly or goat’s cheese.

We ended up choosing a double Chicago with double cheddar, white onions, pickles and dijon dressing for 135 SEK (13 USD), and a double Ohio with double cheddar, bacon, white onions, fresh jalapeños and mayo for 140 SEK (13.5 USD). We also ordered a portion of regular fries for 35 SEK (3.5 USD). The deserted feeling persisted, as we ordered via a terminal and only saw the staff when they placed our meal on the counter. The burgers, however, looked as good as they had on our previous visits. The double 105-gram patties had a very nice crust and were tender and juicy, and we felt they really went all out with the black pepper. The fluffy, golden brown bun was well toasted and held together well during the meal. But the crispy bacon in our Ohio was poorly distributed throughout the burger, so we had to really look for it. We appreciated the nice kick from the dijon dressing in the Chicago burger, but the pickles were way too salty. The fries were also boring with a dry texture and way too much salt.

American Steakhouse Burgers still make pretty tasty burgers, but we noticed a pretty significant drop in quality compared to previous years. We hope they find their way back to the hunger they exhibited during their food truck era.

02 april 2021, American Steakhouse Burgers

Fortfarande en av Uppsalas bästa burgare.

Vi recenserade ursprungligen American Steakhouse Burgers under våren 2017, och på den tiden var de en hajpad foodtruck som stod i ett industriområde utanför Uppsala. Nyligen öppnade de en restaurang i köpområdet Boländerna i Uppsala, med en stor, ljus och modernt inredd lokal som känns lite som en mässhall. Menyn rymmer åtta olika hamburgare, plus en kycklingvariant samt olika tillbehör. Vi hade gärna sett någon enklare och mer klassisk burgare på menyn, för det kändes som att alla burgare hade åtminstone en ingrediens som kändes malplacerad. Vi beställde in flera olika burgare, bland annat deras enklaste variant: Mc Original med 105 gram kött, två skivor cheddarost, senap, ketchup, silverlök, picklad gurka samt originaldressing. Burgarna kostade mellan 85 och 90 kronor, och vi valde att dubbla mängden kött och ost för ytterligare 35 kronor. Vi testade även deras mixed fries för 30 kronor.

Burgarna såg riktigt lovande ut, och var ganska olika hamburgarna från foodtrucken. Köttet var saftigt, ordentligt kryddat och hade en tydlig stekyta. Och dubbelt kött gav burgarna helt rätt proportioner. Ingredienserna fungerade väl ihop, och det kändes som att det var alldeles lagom mycket av allt – rejält och generöst utan att bli mäktigt. Brödet var dock den svagaste detaljen, för även om alla andra ingredienser höll hög klass så var själva brödet intetsägande med en något svampig konsistens. Det kändes extra synd med tanke på att det var en favorit vid vårt förra besök. Våra mixed fries var i alla fall goda och krispiga med fin sälta, och lyfte måltiden ytterligare.

Mycket har förändrats på fyra år, och trots att wow-känslan uteblev så levererar American Steakhouse Burgers fortfarande riktigt goda hamburgare och tillhör Uppsalas toppskikt. Om du befinner dig i närheten av Boländerna rekommenderar vi verkligen ett besök.

We first reviewed American Steakhouse Burgers back in the spring of 2017, and back then they were a well-liked food-truck in an industrial lot outside Uppsala. They recently opened a restaurant in Uppsala’s Boländerna shopping area — large, bright and modern premises that reminded us of a conference centre. Their menu consists of eight different beef burgers, a chicken burger and various sides. We would have liked to see some more simple and classic burger options, and most menu items contained at least one ingredient that felt out of place. In the end, we ordered several burgers, including their simplest hamburger – a Mc Original with a 105-gram beef patty, two slices of cheddar, ketchup, mustard, white onions, pickles and a burger sauce. All of their burgers cost between 85 and 90 SEK (around 10 USD), and we also doubled the amount of meat and cheese for an additional 35 SEK (4 USD). We also ordered some mixed fries for 30 SEK (3.5 USD).

Our burgers looked really promising, and quite different from their food-truck offerings. The beef was juicy, properly seasoned and had a great crust. Having double patties gave it an excellent beef to bun ratio as well. The other ingredients were just right, and there were a lot of flavours and texture without anything took over. However, the bun turned out to be a bit of a let-down with its boring and a bit spongey texture. This felt like a missed opportunity, seeing as we really enjoyed the bun during our last visit. The mixed fries were tasty and crispy, with a reasonable amount of salt, making us really happy with our meal.

A lot of things have changed over the years, and despite not being blown away by American Steakhouse Burgers, they certainly serve really good burgers and belong high up on Uppsala’s list of great burger joints. If you’re near Boländerna, we highly recommend a visit.

Suveränt prisvärd foodtruckburgare.

American Steakhouse Burgers är ytterligare ett tillskott till Uppsalas ständigt växande hamburgerställen. Deras foodtruck står i ett något oinspirerande industriområde (inte helt olikt Dylan’s Grill på andra sidan av Uppsala), men låt inte det avskräcka dig.

På menyn finns sju olika burgare varav ett vegetariskt alternativ. Priserna ligger på 60 till 70 kronor för en 100-gramsburgare, samt 30 kronor extra för en extra köttpuck. Vi valde en dubbel Louisiana med bacon som dessutom kom med sallad, egeninlagd gurka, tomat, gul lök, american cheese och deras egen dressing.

Köttet var mycket saftigt och varsamt tillagat på kolgrillen. Inga klagomål här inte! Brödet var fluffigt och mycket gott och lyckades dessutom hålla kvar köttsafterna på ett föredömligt sätt. Ostens krämighet och smak passade perfekt, och den egeninlagda gurkan bidrog med lagom sälta. Och vi vet inte vad de har gjort med sitt bacon, men det var bland det bästa vi har smakat på en burgare i Sverige – vilket säger en hel del!

Trots sitt ganska intetsägande namn är American Steakhouse Burgers en mycket prisvärd foodtruckburgare som definitivt står sig i Uppsalas tuffa konkurrens! Och sedan april står de även i centrala Uppsala – så nu finns det inga ursäkter att inte besöka dem.

American Steakhouse Burgers are yet another addition to the ever growing burger scene in Uppsala, Sweden. The cheap burgers cost 60-70 SEK for a single 100 gram patty and another 30 SEK per extra patty. We ordered a double Louisiana with extra bacon, containing 200 grams of chargrilled beef, lettuce, bacon, house pickles, tomato, onions, american cheese and dressing. The beef pattys where extremely juicy and perfectly cooked on the chargrill. The bun was soft, tasty and did an amazing job containing all the burger juices. The cheese, pickles and the rest of the condiments were good too, but the real star was the bacon. It tasted amazing, and was some of the best we’ve had on a Swedish burger. And they’ll be opening a second food truck in central Uppsala soon as well, so don’t worry if you haven’t been able to make the trip to their faraway location.

Hos oss är det sommar året om! Och du behöver faktiskt ingen grill för att göra en BBQ-burgare. Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger kombinerar Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce med sallad, tomat och picklad rödlök. Den picklade rödlöken ger både krisp och syra som balanserar den söta och rökiga barbecuesåsen, medan grönsakerna lyfter smakerna. Vi smashar köttet på en stekplatta på grillen, men det går lika bra att göra det i en gjutjärnspanna i köket.

🍔 Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger
4 portioner / 30 min

Du behöver:
800 g grovmald högrevsfärs, 20–30 % fetthalt
4 hamburgerbröd, gärna briochebröd
8 skivor hamburgerost
Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce
4 salladsblad
4 tomatskivor
1 rödlök
1 dl ättiksprit, 12 %
2 dl strösocker
3 dl vatten Smör
Salt och grovmald svartpeppar

Gör så här:
1.) Pickla rödlöken. Koka upp ättiksprit, socker och vatten och rör tills sockret har löst sig. Låt svalna. Skiva rödlöken tunt och lägg den i lagen i minst 30 minuter.
2.) Dela upp färsen i 8 delar à 100 gram och forma löst till bollar med händerna.
3.) Smält en liten klick smör på stekplattan eller i stekpannan och rosta insidan av bröden. Lägg åt sidan och torka av plattan eller pannan.
4.) Höj till maxvärme, cirka 250 grader. Lägg på köttbollarna och pressa med jämnt tryck till cirka 1 ½ cm tjocklek med ett smashverktyg i cirka 10 sekunder. Salta och peppra generöst.
5.) När små bubblor börjar bildas på köttets yta vänder du köttet med en vass stekspade. Lägg två skivor hamburgerost på varje köttpuck och stek ytterligare cirka 1 minut.
6.) Ringla Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce på brödets botten och lock. Lägg ett salladsblad på botten, följt av två köttpuckar. Toppa med en tomatskiva och picklad rödlök. Sätt sedan på locket.

Servera direkt och njut av smaken av sommar! ☀️

🇸🇪 @noahsburgare ★★★★★

We first visited N.O.A.H’s Burgare in Södertälje in 2024, and they’ve been high on our ranking of Sweden’s Best Burgers ever since. Their small white food truck has now been replaced by a much larger container, and the menu featured around ten burgers. We ordered our favourite, the Double Bacon Burger, with two 110-gram beef patties, cheddar, bacon, tomato, burger sauce and BBQ sauce for 138 SEK (14 USD). We also tried their SSK Meal, featuring a Bacon Jam Burger with a 135-gram beef patty, cheddar, bacon jam, pickles and Mac sauce. It cost 185 SEK (19 USD), including fries, a dip and a drink.

The burgers arrived quickly and looked just as inviting as we remembered. The Bacon Burger delivered crispy bacon and deep umami flavours, while the diced tomato worked surprisingly well with the other ingredients, adding both juiciness and a distinct texture. The Bacon Jam Burger had a pronounced sweetness and smokiness that we really enjoyed. The thicker beef patty had a crispy crust and a very juicy centre, and together with the generous amount of bacon jam, the proportions between the beef, toppings and bun were really good. However, the Mac sauce faded into the background and didn’t quite get a chance to shine. Both burgers were generously seasoned with salt and coarsely ground black pepper, and we particularly appreciated how they had adjusted the thickness of the patties to suit the toppings. The flavourful bacon jam worked perfectly with a thicker patty, while the classic Bacon Burger had better proportions with two thinner patties, each with an amazing crust. The fries were well-cooked and almost impossible to stop eating, and the included Mac dip paired really well with them.

N.O.A.H’s Burgare just keeps getting better with every visit, and they continue to impress from their small car park on the outskirts of Södertälje. If you love burgers, they’re definitely worth a detour.

🇺🇸 @familyfriend20671 ★★★★☆

Familyfriend is located in a residential neighbourhood in South Seattle and serves American comfort food and Guamanian fusion cuisine. They’ve been named the home of both Seattle’s best smashburger and corn soup, and the restaurant itself has a cosy interior with a large and airy courtyard. The menu consisted of small plates, medium plates and mains, and we ordered the only burger on the menu. The Da Kids Kewpie Burger came with beef, cheese, onions, pickles and miso and cost 20 USD, including a portion of Truffle Shoestring Fries. We also added an extra beef patty for another 5 USD.

The burger was served on a small plate and looked really cute. The beef was juicy with a crispy crust, but we would’ve appreciated more salt to make the flavours pop. The bun was nice and surprisingly airy, but should’ve been toasted harder on the inside. Ratio-wise, it worked really well with double beef, and we think a single would’ve been too bun-heavy. The diced onions were exceptionally crisp and flavourful without taking over, but they’d also diced the pickles, which made them feel more like relish. So even though the flavour was there, we missed their natural crunch, and the burger felt a little too soft overall. The flavours were simple but tasty, and we liked that they dared to keep the burger this simple. Their truffle fries were thinly cut and fried until crisp. Luckily, they’d only been lightly tossed in a fresh truffle oil, which added umami without taking over. We genuinely couldn’t stop eating them.

Familyfriend is a cosy little neighbourhood restaurant that’s well worth a visit. Come for the burger, but make sure to order several of the medium plates to share as well. We tried everything from tacos and empanadas to the burger and their corn soup – and the latter really did live up to its award.

🇸🇪 Burger House Homemade ★☆☆☆☆

Burger House Homemade is located right by the E18 outside Kristinehamn and is hard to miss from the road. The restaurant is decorated like a colourful American 1950s diner, with a large menu where the burgers come in several sizes. The prices were steep, with a burger containing 120 grams of beef costing 189 SEK (20 USD) and a 200-gram version a whopping 289 SEK (31 USD), meaning an extra 100 SEK (11 USD) for just 80 grams more beef. However, we struggled to find a burger where the ingredients felt thoughtfully put together. In the end, we ordered a Cheeseburger with 200 grams of beef, double cheddar, caramelised onions, tomato, lettuce, pickles and burger sauce. Fries were included, but with a soft drink the final bill came to well over 300 SEK (32 USD).

The burger was sloppily assembled and covered in sauce when it arrived. The two smashed patties, made from Swedish chuck, had a lightly grilled flavour, but they’d been pressed too hard and had a compact, chewy texture. The beef was also oversalted and tasted really dull. In contrast, the burger sauce, onions and, strangely enough, even the pickles were very sweet, and none of the flavours worked particularly well together. The lettuce had been placed underneath the beef, where the heat had turned it translucent and limp. The sesame bun had been coloured yellow with turmeric and grilled hard on the outside in a sandwich press, while the inside was left almost completely untoasted. This made it soggy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The result was a messy burger with poorly handled beef at an outrageously high price. The fries were at least okay and the portion was very filling, but that was the only positive part of the meal.

Burger House Homemade felt more like a trap for hungry motorists than a craft burger place with homemade burgers, and we found nothing that justified the unreasonably high prices. We recommend holding out a little longer and finding something tastier and better value further down the road if you’re craving a burger on your journey.
